Hi all, just starting to dig out base for new workshop, will post photos as i go along.
Building is 7m x 4m, pedestrian door to front elevation and double doors to the left hand elevation when viewed from the front.
My initial issue is with the base level. i have set a datum for the height of the concrete slab that is at exactly the same level as a small workshop i have to the side of the new workshop. The idea is that when viewed from the front the slabs for both buildings are level with each other. This will require a 150mm dig out, as going 50mm of hardcore/ blindings etc and then 100mm of concrete. However due to the uneveness of the area where the workshop will be erected, i have a drop of 125mm over the 7m's. Hence i will have 25mm of hardcore in the ground and the finished slab will be 125mm out of the ground (inc 25mm hardcore and 100mm concrete) on the left and 150mm in the ground on the right. any suggestions as to what i should do. i cant make up the ground to the left.
